holy shit. new favourite if discovered! lion has my whole heart, and i'm just about to play heron's route.
thank you so much for this, author! beautifully written & incredibly soulful. you're very talented!
just played heron's route and good god was i reminded of how much i adore the childhood-friends-to-lovers trope.
i didn't have the vocabulary to say it earlier (it was almost 4 am when i commented!) but not only was this incredibly well-written, it was a beautiful study of the human psyche. the way you captured emotion, speech, and mannerisms was vibrant and dynamic, and i could truly understand and empathise with what the characters were feeling. this IF was a gorgeous, well-made labour of love, and i don't think it's too much of a reach to call it a bit of a journal in itself. thank you so much for sharing such a masterful story.
so sorry for the long comment, haha. i hope you have a wonderful life. :]
Your long comment is wonderful and I don’t mind it at all! ❤️ I’m glad you liked Heron’s route, I’m a sucker for that trope, too, lol. This story (and entire experience) truly was a labor of love for me, and I’m glad it resonated with you in such a way. Thank you for rereading and for your kind words!
